I thought, well, I have lost my husband for a few days, which was not altogether bad, however I was encouraged by another couple staying at the hotel with us to take a trip up to Kendal myself so I decided I would be a good sport and go along.

On arriving at Kendal I was very impressed - the Club was more like a mini Country Club and the scenery out in the middle of the Country was beautiful. We where very fortunate to meet Richard Bradshaw one of the directors of the Club he was very helpful and after a few hours of lying by the pool he encourage me to learn the sport that had long been a favorite of my husband’s.

Richard was a great instructor and gave me a thorough education on the correct way to handle a rifle and a pistol. I was very pleased with all that I learnt. Before this experience I was nervous about rifles and pistols but thanks to my new education from Kendal Sporting I am now a lot more confident that faced with one in a negative situation I would be able to react. I also think I may start to join my husband on occasion at his local club.

On completing my education my husband and I had a fantastic lunch at the Club and watched a football match on the big screen by the bar. It was a wonderful day one of three we spent at the facility. The night before we returned home we made one last visit to Kendal for a relaxing dinner, and to say goodbye and see you next time to some new friends.
